Much more than a convention centre

From a phenomenal location to world-class purpose-built facilities, Te Pae offers an experience like no other.

Opening in 2020, centrally located within Christchurch, New Zealand’s most hospitable business events city, Te Pae is much more than a traditional convention centre. It is a gathering place for the 21st century, where the world comes together to share, learn, be hosted and entertained. One meaning of Te Pae is gathering place.

With a striking design, the building itself is an iconic landmark in a flourishing cityscape. Influences of our majestic southern landscape are interwoven into the exterior, making it a physical representation of New Zealand, our culture and the stories of our people.

Our central South Island location and proximity to the city’s airport offer ideal access to be able to enjoy the best of New Zealand’s legendary South Island pre or post-event. Adventure-ready year round, all four seasons have something unique and special to offer.

The unique divisible auditorium can seat 1400 or be configured to run two major events simultaneously.

The fluid and organic layout of the building’s interior creates a space that is at once welcoming and impressive.

Situated on the banks of the Otakaro Avon River, visitors need only step outside for some of the city’s best natural surroundings.

Set in a well organised and compact city, great dining and entertainment is right on the doorstep.
